Versatile and robust sub-miniature circular connectors

Designed to suit a variety of applications where space is at a premium, a selection of plastic-bodied circular connectors is now available from Lane Electronics. Typical applications include test and measurement, laboratory equipment, portable products, instrumentation as well as many uses in schools, colleges, universities and teaching establishments. Manufactured by Weald Electronics the SM/SMA Series are available with 1, 2 or 3 contacts while the SMC Series has three contacts. The SM/SMA Series connectors are rated at 3, 7 and 12A and the SMC Series at 3A. All three series feature a peak working voltage of 500V, DC or AC. The plastic mouldings give the range high arc resistance and high dielectric and mechanical strength while the spring-tempered, phosphor bronze contacts are gold plated for low contact resistance, easy soldering and proof against corrosion. For the SM/SMA Series, either plug or socket can be mounted to chassis or bulkhead and there is a choice of six coloured discs for identification purposes. The connector hoods are equally suitable for plugs or sockets and can be supplied in black or blue. SMC Series connectors come in black, white or blue plastic moulded housings.
